Robert King Posted May 19, 2010 Share Posted May 19, 2010 I need a little help with a recipe. I have only reloaded once before and am going to try again tonight. I have all R&P brass, Titegroup powder & Federal Primers. For bullets, I have 158gr RN Bear Creek Moly, 170gr RN Bear Creek Moly & 158gr Berrys Plated. Anyone have a good recipe to ensure I make over the 120 power factor I need? My first time loading only got me a power factor of 116 and of course, I can not find the paper that I wrote the powder measurement I used. Thank you...

AzShooter Posted May 19, 2010 Share Posted May 19, 2010 Minimum load for 170 grain Lead and Titegroup is 3.0 grains and will give you 800 fps , about 136 power factor. 1158 grain Lead would be 2.9 grains of Titegroup for 805 fps 127 pf. Berry's plated you would need to up the load about 2/10 a grain. These are from the current Lyman Pistol and Revolver loading manual on page 158. You still need to chrono after you load, to test your data. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RePete Posted May 20, 2010 Share Posted May 20, 2010 I don't shoot lead anymore but I do shoot plated. 158gr Plated bullet 4.3gr/TiteGroup This load gave me a PF of 124 from a S&W 686 sporting a 4" barrel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
